No More a Shadow (of a) Bank

(Remarks delivered by Shri M. Rajeshwar Rao, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India – February 09, 2024 - at the NBFC Summit organised by Confederation of Indian Industry at Mumbai)  Regulatory approaches for NBFC sector While framing the regulations for the financial sector, Reserve Bank has always been conscious of the fact that the degree of regulation of a financial entity should be commensurate with the perception of risks posed by the entity and the scale of its operations on the financial system.  Our regulatory approach towards NBFC sector has been guided by a combination of activity-based and entity-based regulations to safeguard financial stability and protect customers. We have tried to leverage the strengths of both these approaches to achieve a more comprehensive and flexible regulatory framework. We find this hybrid approach particularly valuable for an ever evolving NBFC Sector, where innovations and new business models seem to be constantly emerging. ...

WHAT IS CREDIT CARD AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

 A credit card is a plastic card with specific security and other features that is issued by a bank to its customer to enable the customer to use it as a payment medium. The card also entitles the cardholder to certain credit limits/funds such that a payment can be made even if the customer's account does not have adequate balance.  Thus a credit card is both an instrument of payment and a source of credit . Case study- Suppose one purchases grocery and pays the retailer's bill by means of a credit card. The retailer swipes the card and gives a credit slip which the buyer has to sign. Clearly the buyer has not paid cash to the retailer. In this process, the credit card account with the bank is charged with the amount of grocery purchased.  But how does the retailer get his money? The answer is that the charge that the buyer incurred in buying grocery is ' acquired ' by the retailer's  bank. It will provide the retailer with the amount of transaction made by th...

TRANSFORMATIONAL BANKING VS ASPIRATIONAL BANKING

Image
Published on October 22.10.2022 The day was Friday before Diwali. I walked into my familiar retail banking branch. Aghast to find that the Manager (Accounts) was swarmed by a host of clientele. I thought at 3p.m, the Manager would have some leisure. She did not have even her lunch by that hour. The reasons: In a sparsely staffed branch, three employees were on leave; the Branch Manager went on leave for writing an examination. There were at least fifty KYCs of new accounts on her table to key in and approve. Across the counter, the patient customers, understanding her position, exhibited no hurry. The requests ranged from non-responding ATM, YONO, to repayment of retail loans, to irregularities in them to set right and approve, opening the SD Locker, and a pensioner like me requesting for the new ID card. Enhanced Access and Service Excellence (EASE), fifth edition promises a focus on driving an enhanced digital experience along with data-driven, integrated inclusive banking across all...

Stocks to Avoid From Which Sectors

 STOCKS AVOID 1)The Utility Sectors 2) Commodities Sector 3) Public Sector 4) Business To Government Now Understand one by one below- UTILITY SECTOR Utility means the things which are used regularly by everybody like water, air, electricity, internet, mobile, Oil. Without these things in todays world no one can live. So if prices get increased, the inflation will also rise for which common will suffer. In this case government will come to the rescue and will cap the price of these things. So as a investor even though i know data consumption is getting increased i will avoid such companies of Telecom, Power sector.  COMMODITIES SECTOR Companies which produce and market  Mineral, Metal, Mines, Oil companies don't have much pricing power. They are having capital intensive companies. Take into consideration of cement companies they can not sell a bag of cement at Rs 500 when others are selling in Rs 355. So they have to sell at around Rs 355 to Rs 360. Also for example all oi...
